Modern Warfare 2 to Feature "Call of Duty" After All
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 12:20pm 13/07/09 | 32 Comments
Another Twitter reveal has surfaced, this time adding to the already confusing Modern Warfare 2 name debacle (well, it's not really that confusing, but they can't seem to make up their mind).

After all the questions regarding the lack of "Call of Duty" in its namesake, it looks as though concerns the branding would potentially go unnoticed by anyone not that in the gaming loop (ie n00bs) have made the powers that be strike a pose.

So check out this link which has an image of the final box shot, directly from Infinity Ward Community Manager, Robert Bowling's Twitter account.

Because it was the next game in the cod series that came after cod4.

Now to do the math for you, 4 + 1 = 5. That makes it cod5. which makes cod:mw2 cod6.

do you know what cod comes next pave? ? ? ? ??

isn't vice city an expansion, built on the exact same engine as 3?

i don't really know, i stopped playing gta years ago (at 2, the best one in the series!)

they have split the series into 2 seperate entities

hence why it's cod:mw2

so should we be saying Call Of Duty 6 : Modern Warfare 2 ?

So amusing to see you two get riled up over a game name. It's so cod 6.

Here's hoping they don't tinker with the gameplay too much, cod4 was awesome.

I was kind of glad to hear that they were dropping the Call of Duty name, and disappointed that they decided to add it back in. Obviously, I don't care too much, but it sort of implied that they were making a new IP out of it. And Call of Duty 4 is the best one they've made imo, so I'd be happy for IW to dedicate themselves to 'Modern Warfare' while Treyarch rape the CoD franchise.
